Abstract

Pyrolysis has been regarded as the most promising approach to produce alternative energy products. However, the produced crude pyrolysis oils cannot be directly used as "drop-in" fuels due to their undesirable qualities. Among various upgrading techniques, catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) can effectively improve the quality of bio-oils. The upgraded bio-oils show a potential to replace nonrenewable fossil fuels partially or completely. In this chapter, recent developments of catalytic HDO of lignocellulosic pyrolysis oils are thoroughly reviewed. The effects of different operating parameters on the HDO performance are discussed in detail. The HDO reactors and analysis methods for characterization of bio-oil are summarized as well. This chapter provides fundamental knowledge for researchers on HDO of lignocellulosic pyrolysis oil. Moreover, future perspectives are addressed for further investigation and development in this field. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
